20k views! Thank you all. ETC, 4Ground

When I started this blog I didn't think it would ever fly at all. It's a fringe hobby and the Finnish audience is very limited, compared to Warhammeresque gaming.

Finland went to ETC and was voted as the most favoured opponent, wonder if that would've been possible with me over there :) Anyways, good show for the team, while the place in the ladder was lower than in last couple of years. We are not as organized, and tend to be wary of authorities when it comes to spending our leisure time, to have dictator making our lists optimized as some of the better placed teams out there.

Next year ETC will be EW, so we'll see what comes out of that, I'm not certain of attending the team, but we'll see.

I have continued building terrain for my garage table, and these are the last acquisitions from 4Ground.

 I found them pretty straightforward to build, but had my moments of pain and doubt with some of the roofs.
Next I'll continue shooting myself in the foot by building hedgerows, so my Brit Para and US infantry regulars can have better time against my panzers/mechs :)

I'll try to be bit more active with the blog in the future.

Thanks all,
VR

Mechanized German Lists for ETC at 1780

Since it seems I won't be allowed to play tanks at ETC team this year, and really would like to play something else than mine FJs, here's my start for Mechs.


Panzer Lehr has those combat platoons from hell :) 10 Teams, 3 Schrecks, MG teams, HT's, when in defense, you cant assault that with Infantry nor Tanks.

With HT's, you can move those platoons to objectives and dig them in.

Mech list needs to be able to attack and defend, so's I think I'd like to have the Panthers to help not only with tanks, but also Gunlines, AT 10 and such can be real hurt for PZIV's/HT's, but Panthers can merrily ignore them.

Panzerwerfers should give more infantry/gun team killing power, not to mention the 3-wide smoke template.

Puma <-> HT Recon Mostly cause I own the Pumas.

4 PAK 40's is a very decent Ambush platoon and can be without trucks as it's not likely I'd not want them onboard if defending in Mobile reserves scenario.
